O For a Faith That Will Not Shrink

Author: William Hiley Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 709 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Tho' pressed by many a foe; That will not tremble on the brink Of poverty and woe; 2 That will not murmur or complain Beneath the chast'ning rod, But in the hour of grief or pain Will lean upon its God; 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt; 4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That sin's wild ocean cannot drown, Nor Satan’s arts beguile; 5 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life’s last hour is fled, And with a pure and heavenly ray Lights up a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And the, whate’er may come, We’ll taste e’en here the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home. Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification; Epiphany, Third Sunday; Trinity, Twenty-first Sunday Used With Tune: LAMBETH

There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,420 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never with'ring flow'rs: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heav'nly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea, And linger, shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Should fright us from the shore. Amen. Topics: Last Things Heaven Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Let us here Thy glory see, And in tender pity make it Now Thy child, and leave it never, Thine of earth and Thine forever. 4 Make it, Lord, Thy member now; Shepherd, take Thy lamb, and feed it; Prince of Peace, its peace be Thou; Way of life, to heaven lead it, Vine, this branch may nothing sever, Graft by faith in Thee forever. 5 Now upon Thy heart it lies, What our hearts so dearly treasure: Heavenward lead our burdened sighs, Pour Thy blessing without measure; Write the name we now have given-- Write it in the book of heaven.
